  • Do you have to fill the mag all the way in order for it to work? like could you just put like 60 rounds in for testing it out? PLEASE RESPOND SOMBODY

  • @TeeTownVideos Doesn't need to be full to capacity, put in 100 or so rounds and you will get a few bursts out of it ;)

  • @iCaliber93 There's a bit of discrepancy here, but most hi-cap mags require you to wind it about 40-50 times before you start firing. Although, like I said, magazines are different in this regard. You ought to feel the gear on the bottom of the magazine get harder and harder to turn as well. Some magazines have a sort of a relief gear in them, where it jumps a cog in the magazine gear box to prevent over winding.

  • @thedogthat1eatstoast Well I'm not actually sure about it breaking the mag, but it could so I wouldn't take that chance. I hope my advice was of any help? :-)

  • @thedogthat1eatstoast You can just Wind it a little bit more, your suppose to anyways. When the bb's come up to the top of the Mag just keep on winding it until you hear a click, or you could just wind it for about 15 to 20 seconds. Don't keep on winding it after you hear the click or you could break the mag.

  • I winded my Hi Cap Mag on my M4A1 and the mag won't click after I had winded it for about 45 seconds to a minute? Should I stop winding it and just wind it again whenever it stops shooting bb's? I don't want to break my mag because I only have one right now!

  • @harrypikletrunzo then nothing is wrong....

    just put bb's in it....

  • what if you already went past the click with no bb's in it? how do i fix it? please respond! i really need help!

  • Perfect video, very helpful thank you.
